Yeah, to be fair I think Heigl brought a lot of this on herself, she was a legendary jerk long before Shonda Rhimes put her bad behavior on Front Street. Heigl was unfortunate in a) she got on the bad side of a show runner who was able to amass that much influence at a critical time in her career and b) while…

Best names ever! This really needs to happen.

Nailed it.

This. This is just as carefully curated and planned as everything else in the Swiftverse. No way a plebe was trusted with the camera on this one.

Yeah, the booty tooch one had me like...

I get you, I don’t think she’s light-skinned compared to white actresses. But I think among black folks, Zoe would be considered light-skinned. There’s a long history of colorism within the black community, which is why this particular bit of casting is rubbing people the wrong way. Viola Davis talks about that very…

I think you’re on to something here.

I’m not asking her to speak for all WOC’s, just like I can’t speak for all WOC’s. I don’t think anyone can or should. I can only speak to how her comment reads to me and that’s what I get from it. There is also an additional burden given the context of her defending her casting in a role of a woman who was so…

I sort of see your point. But I think her comment still comes off a little tone deaf, especially coming from a woman who has more than benefitted from having eurocentric features and adhere’s to “traditional” Hollywood beauty standards.

Such an amazing doc. Really did an amazing job of capturing her life, the good and the bad.

I’m never been a huge T Swift fan, but GTFOH Demi Lovato. There is more than one way to show your support to someone. $250K is a sizable amount of money and right now it might be much needed since K$sha can’t do her job because of this. Plus, I think its classier to just send a check without making a big deal about it…

That’s an interesting take. I really hope that’s not true, but the way things work sometimes I could see it happening.

Exactly this.

I’m actually OK with it. Saves time and makes it easier to identify racist assholes. Can keep my usual niceties to myself and keep it moving.

Agreed. I could take or leave the song but the video was on point.

Same.

Hearing that Big Freedia line had me like...

Its so obvious. I mean Cinnamon is her name???? Come the fuck on. How are so many people, especially here buying this?

Yeah, this looks like the work of a troll playing on racial stereotypes. What’s scary to me is how many people here didn’t pick up on this at all. and I bet a reverse Google image search would go to some MySpace page.

I am SCANDALIZED! I simply can’t think of any female singer showing this much skin while singing our Nation’s Anthem at a major sporting event! Gasp!!!
